DOVER — The potential for snowfall this weekend also means the potential for another northeaster to hit the Seacoast area.

While it is still too early to provide an exact forecast, weather agencies are in agreement that some sort of snow accumulation will take place over the course of Saturday into Sunday.

According to meteorologist Steve Capriole, there is the potential for some significant accumulation of snow should the storm track move just a bit farther north than where it currently shows on forecast models.

He said if it takes a track further north then the southern part of the state could end up with several inches of snow on the ground with a little more than that accumulating in northern areas.

“I think we'll end up getting some snow out of this one. The question will just be how much,” he said.

WMUR is reporting the potential for significant amounts of snow, though, reiterating that it is still too far ahead in the week to know for sure.

However, their website states, “confidence is growing that this storm may be close enough to our area to deliver plowable snow amounts.”

Accuweather.com is reporting “a developing weather pattern over the United States could lead to big East Coast snow events during the next week or more.”

More specifically, the agency is forecasting a storm to impact New England Saturday into Sunday.

“If the storm develops to its full potential, portions of central New England could be on the receiving end of a foot or more of wet snow with strong wind and colder air being drawn into the storm,” they say. However, “if the storm ends up being on the weak end of the spectrum, more rain would be involved with much lower snowfall totals.”

It is still to early to predict where exactly the cutoff will be for accumulating snow versus a wintry mix or even all rain, according to Accuweather.com.
